And I was just thinking when you would release this. I'll switch to it once downloaded. Thanx man
Everything is working. It's nice to get back to a vzw build. You are appreciated @jrkruse !!
Is this rooted? Am I foolish for asking?

@old&slow made a extended power menu mod. I posted it in post #2
Very nice. Thank you. How difficult is it for me to make this into an Odin flashable TAR file? I'd love to have a stock image, prerooted that I can use to flash back when I soft brick my phone. lol
Thanks, Jkruse. It's really nice of you to come back and share things like this and the ROM patch work even though you're on an S5 yourself. Thank you!!

Well I would love to but there is this little thing called a locked bootloader that prevents that
Ive been using this for about a week due to bluetooth being flaky on CM11. Bluetooth works awesome, but my battery life has greatly suffered. I would sleep would 30% battery and wake up with battery dead. where as with CM11 I would wake up around 10-20%. any ideas?

Since your on MDK try flashing Adam v2.3 kernel or AEL v4.6. Just remember to flash Loki zip after installing kernel. I've had really good battery life with both kernels. Haven't tried this build yet but its still 4.4.2 based.

That is odd. Did you check wakelocks to see if you have a particular app or process that is eating up your battery?
Just noticed you said you've been using this a week. It's only released two days ago. Are you talking about another ROM?
Super stable, fast and perfect. Sometimes a bone stock rom with root access really is the best thing.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Where can I find the instructions on how to install it? I'm currently on I545VRUFNC5 with root and safestrap 3.72. Can I upgrade to NK1 directly without wiping my data? I upgraded from NC2 to NC5 root this way and had great experience. I hope I can do it again on upgrading to NK1. Xda-developers rocks!
Just curious - what's the benefit to using this? I mean, I am genuinely curious what the draw is. If you are lucky enough to have one of the MDK S4 phones, then why use a stock/Verizon rom?
I might flash it, just want to know what the advantages are. One person said "it's nice to get back to a Verizon ROM" but all the Verizon ROMs I've had have been awful.
Thanks for the ROM jrkruse.....
I wanted to know if there was a preferred modem to use with this ROM. I am on MDK and currently using the MJ7 modem.

I haven't flashed this, but Jkruse has never included a modem in his ROM releases before, and I would expect this one to follow that pattern, does not flash modem.

THIS IS ONLY FOR USERS ON MDK BOOTLOADER WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY (cwm or twrp)
NOT COMPATIBLE WITH SAFESTRAP. - however, jrkruse has built a MK2 rom with Aroma that allows installing without kernel.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT BOOTLOADER OR MODEM AS THEY ARE NOT INCLUDED.
GENERAL DISCLAIMER : YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!
This is a stock rom based off the MK2.tar that Surge1223 put together. Thank him every chance you get (without it this wouldn't be possible). It's rooted, deodexed and I've removed all of the Knox garbage. I've included Talexop's stock insecure kernel, Surge1223's tether mod and swgamez's reboot menu.
If you want to update to the latest modem, it can be found here - [MODEM][Zip] Modems for Loki'd & Safestrap roms
Features:
Talexop v1.3 kernel - which can be found here
Pre-Rooted
Deodexed
Zipaligned
Busybox
Surge1223's tether mod
swgamez 4-way reboot menu
To install:
Must be on SCH-i545 VZW S4
Must be on MDK bootloader and have custom recovery (cwm or twrp).
Wipe cache, dalvik cache and data. (If you choose to "dirty flash", don't bring up any problems here).
When rebooting from recovery, it will ask if you want to "Disable Recovery Flash". Always choose "NO".

I'm not sure this is still going to have that fix. I believe those changes were in the kernel and I'm using talexop's kernel. One of these days I'll be able to repack a stock kernel and get it to boot.

Oh no!
Whats the issue with getting the MK2 kernel to boot? Is it related to KNOX? I thought all 4.3 updates were KNOX patched, but all of that security had been cracked already as far as roms are concerned?

Nah, it's not a knox thing....it's really just a noob thing. I'm not really a kernel guy but I'm learning. After trying several different methods of repacking after editing to make it insecure I just gave up on my own kernel and borrowed talexop's.

Install or update TWRP with Goomanager if you're on an old recovery. Just click install openrecoveryscript, that easy.
Stock TW KitKat: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2721118
There are lots of improvements in JB and KK, as well as a couple fixable "issues" (e.g. sd card).
You can sell it to me and then I will give you my phone, that would be the best thing for the world.
Definitely gonna keep my MDK bootloader. The funny thing that's making me want to change is the App to SD card feature in the updates.
I'll make the switch from CWM to TWRP and give stock TW KK a shot. Are there any GS5 ROMs for us? I feel so out of it lol.
I've been flashing since the OG Droid and had close to 10 rooted phones but after getting my GS4 and having everything working perfect(including the mods, I.e. WiFi Ap), I just left it

I'd use Flashify from the Play Store to update to a new recovery. Using Goo or ROM Manager can lead to possibly having to Odin back to stock and start fresh... Couldn't tell you exactly why but it's happened to a few of us including me.
Also... Go for a ROM like C ROM, Mahdi, or Liquid Smooth... Ditch TW

I too have MDK so.... :highfive:! I am running Hyperdrive RLS 15 and it runs flawless. Loads of extra features if you like that sort of stuff. I used the Ktoonz Kernel with it so it comes with the KTweaker App for complete control over the kernel. Loads of battery life. Its 4.3 but if you want 4.4 then wait about a week or so and Sbreen94 will have it released (atleast that is his current time frame).
Whoohoo!! We beat the actual update. :good: HUGE Thanks to @autoprime for the files!!!
They seem to have fixed a lot of the bugs we had in ZV4. Actually runs really well. They've also added a couple new things. (Data optimizer, for one)
This is the Stock ZV6. Odexed and Deodexed. Anyone can use this as a base. Just give credit.
What is has:
Bone stock - installs modem, kernel and ROM
Root
Busybox
Zipaligned
Install:
In TWRP, select "Wipe" "Advanced", and select all but int and ext SD. So wipe /system, /data, /cache, and /dalvic.
Flash Rom
On setup, it happens fast. Take your time or you'll end up selecting something you don't want.
Update profile/prl
Profit!!!
Bugs:
None that I have found. You tell me?
Downloads:
Stock ZV6 Odexed
Stock ZV6 Deodexed
Modem/Radio - Flashable zips: - They are interchangeable on either KK. Update profile/prl,then Activate phone. Then go to Settings>More>Mobile Networks and change it to ANYTHING BUT GLOBAL.
ZV6
ZV4
Kernels
Bone Stock_ZV6
Initd_Stock_ZV6
Flashable_init.d_ZV6_MultiRom - This will run before or after MultiRom. So you can flash this, and when you're ready for MultiRom, just flash files #1 and #3 from that thread
Flashable APN's
Flashable_Vanir_APN - If you do a Factory or dialer reset, your phone will not provision. You will need to revert to the stock APN first.
Stock_APN
Hell yea! Thank you!
Thanks @engine95 love your work. Cant wait to try this out

Short answer is yes. Or maybe i should say, "I think so".
I'm really not sure if reinstalling TWRP will fix that 5sec delay in startup of TWRP we get now. I'm assuming it does. But it's not necessary. It seems to be working fine.
Deodex uploading now.
I hope this update fixes the auxiliary port issue. Thanks for the upload.
Deodexed is up in OP.
BTW
The 5sec delay in TWRP, might be caused by the kernel. I don't know if autoprime "Bumped" it before uploading. And Bump is throwing errors when I try.
The kernel and ROM are working just fine. I'll upload the kernel if this is the issue.
OK so if I flash this, this should update the kernel and modem right? So I go back to my nandroid..which is sacs...will the modem and kernel still stick?... I did all this already but just curious lol

The modem will stick. The kernel won't unless you uncheck restore boot. Then it SHOULD stick. The date on the new Kernel is Nov 7.
Any idea if pulling just the modem out and flashing it alone will get the gps/compass
fixed for those of us running AOSP builds?
Can this be flashed over my current setup?

I flashed over by previous stock just fine. You should be okay going from stock < stock since its just an update, but if you get any fc errors you might want to wipe and do a clean install.
On a side note I haven't had aux issues yet so this may have fixed it.

you don't bump stock boot.imgs.. they're already signed by LG. bump is only for custom boot.img's
as for the TWRP delay.. no clue. there is no difference in how bump works with the bootloader between zv4 and zv6.
I honestly didn't question that because I didn't know if ZV6 came with a new bootloader that looked for a new sig

Hello everyone,
I'm looking to flash my Verizon S4 i545 for the first time. I have the NK1 Build on it. So far, I've rooted it with towel root and have safestrap 3.75 installed.
From doing my research it seems that having the NK1 build prevents me from flashing some roms such as CM11. All I really want from my s4 (had it since launch) is to have the best performance and battery life possible. I'm not looking to do anything fancy beyond that. From some online reading, it seems Hyperdrive might be the best rom for my needs.
How can I go about installing the Hyperdrive rom? (which version should I look out for considering I have NK1)
What precautions should I take before attempting to install?
What other custom roms can I install onto my S4 NK1 build?
Thank you in advance!
I hace the same thing, and muy SE is enforcing. I dont know if that is important.

Honestly, you should downgrade back to nc5 from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2735172 You won't be able to install any CM or AOSP rom since you're not on mdk. Hyperdrive is a good rom. Echoerom and Eclipse are solid as well. They're also based on nc5 and you'll likely not have too many problems if you downgrade back.

If you use the full wipe nc5, it shouldn't be buggy. It's like having a clean slate. For myself, I've always had better success from nc5 than nk1.

thanks. So would it be an accurate statement that at this point in time, unless someone just wants a stock rooted nk1, there's really no point in rooting an nk1 because you just need to downgrade to nc5 anyway, and then re-root again, in order to flash any custom roms; And you do not need root to downgrade via Odin, correct?

For me it's just preference. Most roms are nc5 based. There are modules and fixes out for those on nk1, but for me, I have always had issues with it. Downgrading to nc5 eliminated the problems. You still need to flash modules and wifi fixes, but I find it to be far more stable. No, you don't need to be rooted to use Odin. If you do plan on downgrading, I would suggest the full wipe. Some have experienced issues with the non wipe. Hope all this helps.

Do the full wipe nc5, it should take care of it. The non wipe is hit or miss when it comes to problems.

Thanks just did it and it worked, i could finally install safestrap now and did the full wipe and install of the JFLTE-GPE rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2643031 ) and after succesfully installation and reboot it just boots into android recovery. Any fix ? Thanks

We can't flash cm or any aosp roms. Our phones are locked down. There might be 1 or 2 GPE roms that will work with some tweaking. Other than that, we are stuck with TW based roms

Yeah i noticed that lol, at least i've been learning a lot of things about how to flash, odin, the bootloaer, the roms, firmware etc. I managed to install hyperrom's last version and it's pretty decent. Fcuk Verizon btw
You can use SuperNexus ROM. It works with safestrap. You can also use Kitpop ROM.

Just rooted my wife's of1 and looking for a basic ROM to install so I can have the WiFi tether available.
Its been a while since I've been on here and not fimiliar with what to use and what not.
My phone has safestrap and 4.4 still.
From what I've read safestrap can't be used on of1....
Thanks

You need to install flashfire cant find with aptoide, then download the stanglitre rom for non mdk and use the instructions for flashed with flasfire, is the only rom i find for this firmware.

Stang5litre is a great ROM, as said by jesuskaoz. It is a debloated stock with better performance and battery life. I didn't check the wifi tether though.
If you want to have some more fun, Albe95's S6 port is pretty good, it's what I'm running now. It's performance is great, and its cool to have all of the S6 features, but battery life isn't as good as stang5litre. It has working wifi tether. But be careful when you install it; I had two bootloops trying to. To install it you must flash OC1 kernel and follow the OF1 Bootloader instructions. Hope I helped and have fun with a new ROM!
incorrect

Well I went with the stock rooted ROM and flashed it per instructions while I was on of1 and I am soft bricked. It just sits at the s4 screen then after a few mins it reboots and does the same thing. Not sure what I did wrong but I'm trying to find a stable net connection to download the tar which is 2.4 gb

Same thing happened to me trying to flash stock rooted too... Had to flash stock OF1 firmware again via odin and root again... Not a big deal but lost all data on phone and it takes a while to do.

No... As long as he's on stock ROM you can flash OC1 kernel no problem. That's how OF1 people obtain root in the first place.

Well I flashed again and got a system not responding error and all I could do is pull down the notification bar. So I'm guessing that flashfire is the issue or I got a bad download of the ROM.
Downloading from a different mirror now and flashing tar again....

Are you using FlashFire v.24? That's what I used to flash the Odex and DeOdexed rom's by muniz_ri and they worked fine

I literally had the same problem as you. Tried to flash of1 rooted and got boot loop.
If you have some time, the easiest solution to your problem is to flash stock, re root, and start all over again. Like I said, it takes some time, but it's an easy process.

I feel you!
This is what worked for me:
-Root
-STAY on OC1 kernel
-Flash Albe's s6 port
Should boot in 10-15 minutes
I don't remember what kernel I was on when I flashed stang's ROM
Good luck I'll check in again tomorrow.

I don't believe they have a website. I would go to the Flashfire thread, join the beta group, download the app Direct from the play store.
When I flashed muniz_ri's rooted OF1 DeOdexed rom, I was on OF1 with OF1 kernel, though I believe it flashes modem, non-hlos, and kernel anyways

Yea I'm on the latest v.24 beta.
I'm going to mess with it again tonight and see what I get and will report back.
Thanks for the help
So I just tried it again and as soon as I hit the bolt to start the screen goes all black and hasn't turned back on. Is it flashing? Do I leave it like that?
I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.
So I walked away from it and came back and it's on. How do I know if it flashed? All apps are still there and nothing has changed.
Edit...
I flashed the tether hack and it did the same thing rebooted and still no tether. So nothing is being flashed.
Edit again...
Forgot to install SuperSU so it actually flashed the ROM but wouldn't load. Got stuck on a black screen for about 10mins. Back to sq 1 again
Finally got the damn thing on her phone. I was flashing the wrong kernal after rooting. Left the oc1 kernal on the phone then flashed and it went through fine.
Thanks for all the help.
